Details
The Ventenac team have always managed to produce outstanding wines, and their rosé is no exception. The ‘Leclaud’ is a blend of Syrah, Grenache and the two Cabernets, with the result being a dry, crisp wine perfect for picnics in the sun and a plate of charcuterie.
The creative and expressive wines of Famille Maurel derive from the impressive Maison Ventenac. A modern and impressive winery that is making reasonably lo-fi, minimal intervention wines at scale (that is not easy to do at all). Both outfits are located in the subregion of Cabardes, which is part of the larger Languedoc in France’s southwest. The Maurel team do make a couple of wines under the Cabardes regional specifications, however, their true focus is throwing the rulebook out the window and focusing on single-variety wines which are bottled in smart bottles and clever labels. Their brand new range, marked only by punctuation marks and emojis, is a testament to the team's creativity and under the watchful eye of talented winemaker Olivier Rame. These are exclusive to Good Pair Days.

Pairing guide
Crisp and expressive, Leclaud Rosé delivers delicate red berry fruit, citrus zest, and a refreshing mineral edge that makes it a perfect summer companion. Pair it with grilled prawns, seared tuna, or a fresh niçoise salad for a classic southern French feel. It also shines with Mediterranean mezze, charcuterie, or goat cheese. For something casual, try it with pizza topped with prosciutto, fish tacos, or even a watermelon and feta salad—the wine’s bright acidity keeps every bite lively and fresh.
